When you merge, how long should the gap be?

3 seconds
4 seconds
5 seconds
6 seconds

The correct answer is: 4 seconds

When merging into traffic, it is important to leave a sufficient gap between your vehicle and the other vehicles on the road. The correct answer, 4 seconds, ensures that you have enough space and time to safely merge without causing any disruptions to the flow of traffic. This following distance allows you to assess the speed and distance of the vehicles around you, making it easier to merge smoothly and safely. It gives you the necessary buffer in case traffic slows down unexpectedly. Always remember to check your blind spots, use your indicators, and wait for a safe gap before merging onto the road.
